The Centre on Monday formally notified the number of posts of all-India services for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. According to the notification put up on the Department of Personnel and training (DEPT) website, Telangana will get 163 IAS, 112 IPS and 65 Indian forest Service posts. AP will get 211 IAS, 144 IPS and 82 IFoS posts.

United AP had a sanctioned strength of 376 IAS, 258 IPS and 149 IFoS posts. The division between AP and Telangana was done in the ratio of 13:10, the number of districts each state has.

In the IAS, Telangana will have one chief secretary, one additional chief secretary, 10 principal secretaries, 5 secretaries, 22 secretaries-cum-commissioners and 10 district collectors. AP will have one post of chief secretary, one of additional chief secretary, 12 principal secretaries, 11 secretaries, 23 secretaries-cum-commissioners and 13 district collectors.

In the IPS, Telangana will have one DGP (head of police force), 5 additional DGPs, 13 IGs, 11 DIGs and 31 SPs. AP will have one DGP (head of police force), one DGP, 7 additional DGPs, 17 IGs, 13 DIGs and 40 SPs.

The division was on the expected lines as the same has been mandated in the AP Reorganization Act. While the notification of the AIS posts was welcomed by the officers, they are eagerly waiting for the allocation of the officers to the two states as it is that which is expected to lead to a lot of heartburn and disputes.

The Pratyush Sinha committee that was constituted to look into the allocation of the AIS officers between the two states is expected to issue the guidelines anytime now. Sources said the file was awaiting clearance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from his Brazil trip and since he has returned now, the guidelines can be issued anytime now.
